Famous quotes containing the words shade and/or trees:
“I never drank of Aganippe well,
Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Your soul ... is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
